    IRCC has processed your application fast. My spouse is an April 9 applicant and only got a biometric request. Well... you might get WP. Who knows?! IRCC is unpredictable.

    Out of Status SOWP Timeline

    That's a good question. I have a friend who was out of status and applied for WP last February. Nothing so far. He sent his application in September 2024. After this waiting time, I think that he won't get his WP. Could you share your timeline?

    Sponsor Eligibility Issue

    Apparently there is nothing wrong for your eligibility to become a sponsor. You are just a bit paranoid and confused with Citizenship requirement - absolutely different! Just relax a bit. SA is important, but what cause delay for the application is PA background and eligibility.

    COPR

    This is a very basic information. I'm surprise that you did not know about it. After COPR you can apply for Permanent Resident Card. That's the document that allow you to travel abroad. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/permanent-residents/card/apply.html

    after 11 month waiting, what should I do?

    There is nothing that you can do. Some people might suggest you to apply for GCMS notes. In my opinion still is not necessary. Just relax a bit and wait.

    Is it possible to cause a delay in your spouse sponsorship application

    I remember that during the Conservative government, there was a ridiculous rule: if the spouse got divorced within two years of becoming a Permanent Resident, their status could be revoked. It was like the government was trying to be a "superhero" for the sponsor — "Did your spouse leave you...

    PROOF OF CONTACT

    If this is all you have to prove your relationship, I would say your application lacks sufficient evidence. Have you two met in person? I saw someone in another group who got upset because I said she couldn’t have a sponsor without meeting them. Is that your situation? If so, don’t apply — your...
